MBL ★★★★ Vikan: Beast in its own Skin by Hrafnhildur Hagalín is an excellent poetry collection. Hrafnhildur possesses a remarkable command of language and knows how to evoke atmosphere in her poems. The reader embarks on various journeys—with or without a companion—and experiences are vividly rendered. The destinations are undefined yet rich in history, even if the streets can sometimes be hard to navigate.
